As a Canadian, hearing about poor people supposedly eating dogs and cats, now geese, it makes me wonder where the fuck are the social programs in America that help people who’ve been beat to shit enough that they would stoop to eating any passing animal?
All the infighting and out fighting just point to how diseased America is. These problems are absolutely not going away if Trump loses. I bet it gets worse. These people cheering on the disfunction are part of the problem.
I love watching their infighting.
I really hope you’re not American. I see some poor child sitting at the top of the stairs cheering on their drunken parents domestic dispute.
Definitely less evil, towards Americans. But they’ve made vast strides in outsourcing evil through globalization and the military industrial complex.
I think America has been in a deep moral crisis since it’s inception; should we be evil, or just a little evil. It’s easy to get people to agree to just a wee bit of more evil and here we are 200 years later with the magic of compound interest.
I’m that level of user that will block the ever loving shit out of everything but not do much to make it better. The problem is that once you’ve blocked everything you have pretty much zero interest in there isn’t much left on lemmy. Still better than reddit though.
Yes, but I’m talking about mass adoption. Very few users care, they want to scroll through and see stuff they like. They don’t want to curate and host and delve into the intricacies. Until such time as someone makes lemmy palatable, the masses won’t eat it.
Sailing. Boating. Sewing. Those are they tops ones I miss from reddit that had active users. Instead we have 7000 communities for linux and pervy anime.
Lemmy won’t catch on until there are groups of communities you can ban at once. Sports, Linux, German, pervy anime… It’s a very rare user who will put up with the absolute dreck of the initial feed and manually block communities until they have a feed that’s marginally personalized.
Then there’s the fact that any communities that are specific to peoples interests are completely empty.
It’s been less and less for the last ever. It did freeze over solid, as did all the Great Lakes, about 10 years ago but that seems to be an outlier. Now there’s been not much by the shore let alone any for ice fishers. I’m talking about Georgian Bay, off Lake Huron.
There was a railway built to my town which had a big industry supplying ice to the large cities in the south. There was a long conveyor belt built into the lake leading to a large building stuffed with saw dust that kept ice well into the summer. It created a lot of winter work for the locals that dried up after refrigeration was invented. The railway lost its usefulness and also got torn up. And now the bay doesn’t even freeze anymore.
Worked with Reagan.
It was very much a “hello fellow kids” type vibe for me. He was desperately trying to make it hip to be square. I found it utterly unwatchable and only made it through half of the second episode. I appreciated the attempt but the result was embarrassing.
They’re Americans.
*orcha
It’s fucked how American politics is treated like a football game watched through a stock ticker.
While quite dangerous, the cornered rat may get a shovel to the head. Put on your rat kicking boots!
That’s how I use Bing. 😻
